    it is the unavoidable point if you insist English Lit should avoid difficult topics in order to instil the joy of reading, because literature is filled with harrowing stories of people behaving inhumanely towards one another.

    at the same time, arguing that difficult topics should not be avoided but taught carefully, does not mean i do not empathise with those affected.
